US election 2016: Obama warns fate of world at stake

America : President Barack Obama has urged Democrats of all ethnic backgrounds to get out and vote for Hillary Clinton, warning that the fate of the US republic – and the world – is at stake.

He said her Republican opponent Donald Trump was a threat to hard-earned civil rights.

President Obama was speaking at a rally in North Carolina.

Mr Trump said Mr Obama should stop campaigning for Mrs Clinton and focus on running the country.

“The bottom line is, no-one wants four more years of Obama,” he told supporters in Pensacola, Florida.

He said Mrs Clinton had become “unhinged” in recent days.
